SUNSTONE CDDP-A USERS GUIDE
Auto With Timing
Refer to Figure 20.1.
D1: A delay that occurs from the time primary trigger is triggered and the weld ready signal changes to a low
value. Typical time for this is between 1 and 50 milliseconds.
Pre-Weld: An operator-dened delay that happens before the signal to the weld head is sent. This delay can be
set between 1 and 10,000 milliseconds. Use the Pulse Settings tab on the Home Screen to control Pre-Weld.
Squeeze Time: An operator-dened delay that occurs from the time the weld head signal is sent and the
beginning of pulse 1.
Pulse 1: The duration of this delay is dependent on the energy programmed on welder for pulse 1. This is
controlled on the Pulse Settings tab on the Home Screen.
Cool: The duration of this delay is dependent on the time programmed on welder for time between pulses. The
operator can select between 1 and 100 milliseconds. This time will be ignored if either pulse is disabled. Use the
Pulse Settings tab on the Home Screen to set the cooling delay.
Pulse 2: The duration of this delay is dependent on the energy programmed on welder for pulse 2, controlled on
the Pulse Settings tab on the Home Screen.
Hold Time: An operator-dened delay that occurs from the time pulse 2 ends and the weld head begins to
return to home position.
D2: After this delay the Weld Ready signal will return to a high position. This delay will depend on the time need-
ed to charge to the desired energy, but will typically be between 50 and 5,000 milliseconds minus the length of
the hold time.
